Does it bother you that some people have way more money than you ever will?

[Anonymous]

Yes

No

[RingOfFire]

One thing that these mental cases who can't stand that someone else has more money than they do all have in common is that they are lazy thugs who want to steal from others instead of contributing something to society by earning it themselves. They vote for these socialist/communist thieves who capitalize on this envy politics to steal it in the form of taxes keeping 90% of it in their own pockets with corruption and turning the crumbs over to the lazy masses to buy their votes with other peoples' money.

People who support this are the scourge of freedom and need to be decisively defeated. They are the destroyer of freedom and private property rights.

[OneViewpoint]

I have everything I could reasonably want. I don't need "more". I don't want to be consumed by an obsession for more money. I don't want the attention it brings. I donlt want to be owned by the things I have amassed. I'm perfectly happy with my freedom to move through life anonymous and invisible to go where I want, when I want, interacting with whoever I want or no one at all.

[OneViewpoint]

What bothers me is the fact that some people ARE obsessed with wretched excess and obscene consumption. They are detached from the rest of humanity. They become monsters who see themselves as entitled to use their wealth to plunder more wealth by any means no matter the consequences to other people. It becomes a mental illness. Megalomania? Narcissism? Sociopath? Psychopath? Whatever you want to call it.

No - What bother's me is that there are millions of people around the world in abject poverty meanwhile a small few keep most of the world's wealth all for themselves - a capitalist system that works great for a small few and screws the majority.

[DirtyOldMan777]

first, they don't have that much money in cash. It's not in their bank accounts, it's ownership of businesses which is counted as an asset.

people in poverty never get lifted out of poverty with handouts. they just become dependent. rich people offering them jobs to work lifts them out of poverty.

[Opinion Owner]

@DirtyOldMan777 Most of the super rich are cash rich and own multiple expensive houses, yachts etc in their own name (we're not talking about business assets). Nobody is suggesting that people are given handouts but that they are paid a decent wage and have access to the same opportunities and privileges as those that hoard the world's wealth - most people that are in poverty are ordinary working people with jobs - you seem to have decided that they are all unemployed expecting handouts which is completely ignorant. Why do people like Elon need $1Tn when hundreds of thousands of people can't afford housing and food? You don't see the problem with inequality?

[DirtyOldMan777]

90% of wealth is in assets not cash. Like me, 92% of mine is in assets, and many of my friends at this level are the same. I have 14 assets that make me $500,000 a year, and that's what I live on. I can get more but would have to sell assets to get the cash.

[Asker]

@DirtyOldMan777 How do you survive in only 500k a year?

[Jersey2]

Elon owns no houses. He sold them. He sleeps in his factories such as Tesla when it needed fixing for a year. Now he sleeps in a tiny house inside of a SpaceX hanger as he works on rockets to provide humanity with a second planet if we screw this one up. Planet B from the meme will be a reality.

He is making launching satellites and other things so affordable. Space science will benefit as well. So now we have self driving cars, reusable rockets and we have massive free speech on X not controlled by governments.

Meanwhile Bernie Sanders has been in congress for over 40 years. He made 3 bills and one was to rename a library. Just 3. He has 3 houses though and flies private jets while talking about other people who have money. He says he rides the bus but spent over $1 million on private jets fares. He is lazy, indulgent, and manipulates people for money and comfort. The trillionaire though sleeps in factories in a tiny house. If we are lucky, Musk will manufacture $7,000 tiny homes. Bernie will just tax it.

@Jersey2 that’s not entirely true, musk has this big compound with mansions for his baby mamas

[Opinion Owner]

@DirtyOldMan777 I have a lot more than assets than that but a civilized society looks after its people when they face hard times. It could happen to ANYONE - if you became serious ill or your assets became worthless and you found yourself struggling to support yourself and your family you would probably appreciate the rich helping out a little to prevent you from starving or becoming homeless. Rampant unregulated capitalism is very primitive and it's a very bad way to run an economy. Did you enjoy watching hundreds of thousands of people losing their homes and becoming unemployed after the financial crash of 2008 - incompetent self serving business people crashed the world economy while enriching themselves and left the world economy in ruins leaving taxpayers to pick up the tab. You should go and educate yourself about this then maybe you will understand why a selfish culture of looking after yourself and to hell with everyone else makes for in a horrible society which results in unnecessary mass suffering

[DirtyOldMan777]

How can you not?

[Calyptomaniac]

Would letting it bother me make me magically richer? It's not productive. Elon and the Amazon guy and Bill Gates and whoever else having more doesn't have much of an effect on my life. I do well enough and that's all I can do.

[ohsheeT]

No i can care less
i am very happy in life and every thing I have I am grateful of everything I have. And im starting my spring cleaning I have way to many things I have double and triple of different things and I just don't need them I would rather give them away did somebody that can use them

I know millionaires and I know billionaires

The millionaires are nice but they're dirty and they're always trying to think of a way to make more they don't care what it takes

Billionaire I believe is happy and they do what they want when they want

He lives in Texas and when he wants a haircut he flies to Reno Nevada actually Carson City

The man was very smart made his money legally and by using his head but I bet you that I'm happier than both of them

But it doesn't even matter to me I hope that they are both happy I hope that they are doing well I hope that they get whatever they're looking for I know I have except for a girlfriend LOL

But at the moment that's my choice and I'm sure that I will change it when I'm ready but I'm happy for anybody that has what they want or what they went after and got it success is beautiful thing

I've succeeded to the level that I guess I want to do otherwise I would have kept going if I was not happy but no matter who you are in life you're right where you want to be otherwise you would change it

[browsingthroughthe]

I voted Yes ; but now in my early 30s, it doesn't both me so much as I get older and older. Wiser and wiser.

And after all - to my brain 🧠 "... it's only fun being rich, when 20s and having fun ; there's no joy in being middle aged / old aged rich" - is there 👉🏻☝🏻😋🕳️

[browsingthroughthe]

😃 and I'm biased anyhow as a left voting / left socialist 🥹

[browsingthroughthe]

But I'm a pleasant one about it 🤪

[Anonymous]

Yes it does actually. It makes me feel like a fucking piece of worthless fucking shit. To know that I will struggle to pay my bills for the rest of my life no matter how hard I work meanwhile these people pay their bills and then some without even trying.

God do I fucking hate my fucking monotonous poor, boring fucking life. Fuck.

[MicroJ]

It does not. They earned it. It is for them to use and enjoy as they see fit. It is immoral and Unchristian like to "Envy" others wealth or life style. Envy is the 4th of the "Seven Deadly Sins". Also against the "10th Commandment" Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house or goods. This is why the belief that the redistribution of wealth in itself is not only, stealing but evil and will lead to the undoing of society.

[Anonymous]

No. Most of the are child predators like bill gates, donald trump, jeffrey epstein and more.

The people around them don't even like each other which is why take their anger out on children or people who can't defend themselves because they are miserable.

Why did Trump had to blow up a school bus of girls? He's just old and miserable and wants to hurt people because they are happy and see him for what he is.

[MysteriousDarkness]

Prove that Trump is a pedophile?

[Amy10223]

No, but when I was younger and growing up in a relatively poor household, it did. My friends all seemed to be doing well financially and in healthy situations with their family. That mattered to me more than the financial stability.

[msc545]

Well, in all honesty, it bothers me a great deal when I see a house or a car that I really want to buy and can't afford, but other than that, it doesn't bother me at all. I have enough money to live well, although I work hard for it. The things that people who have a ton of money have to do for that money are disgusting.

[236color]

Does it bother me that some people have more money than I ever will? No. What bothers me is knowing some people have enough money to feed EVERY hungry person on earth and STILL be a multi Billionaire, and choose not to.

[katiesmuff]

No it does not! Many earn it, some inherit it, and then there are those like trump who scam and steal it just like he did his fathers fortune and the US treasury.

[jshm2]

LOL, there are no pockets on a shroud. So it doesn't really matter who has more or less.

Those with "more" will often have less by their graveside.

[AviatorTom]

That doesn't' bother me in the least. More power to them for being successful. I do my best to be successful too, in many ways not all tied to money.

[MrOracle]

No. Who cares? I have enough, and I could make more but I don't want to make the trade-offs it would require to do so.

[strateguy632]

that is expected. only a few people take risks that succeed. musk took risks and lost tons on tesla and spacex but now he is making it back.

[Clyde_123]

No because not all rich or people who have more money than me got their money from clean work. If they are rich from hard work then good for them for now I would just focus on myself on how to be successful too.

[Kayla45]

I don’t particularly care, as long as I can make my own needs met.

[Chayce]

Only pessimists think like that. If you want to be wealthier... go & make more money. The information is out there. Granted your chances are significantly easier being in a Western country.

[DonaldDarko]

Some people can run marathons or program computers or perform surgery. So what?

[Account]

I do not get the concept of envy in general nor have I ever desired things that do not belong to me.

[FreyaRed]

No. It bothers me that money they get is stolen from me.

[Lliam]

Nope. But I do care about how some people acquire their wealth and what they do with it.

[NathanDavis]

not one bit...

I don't care about money like that

[canamlusciouslad73]

Only folk like TRILLIONAIRE Elon Musk's impacted wealth he swindled from God knows how many folk, while homelessness reigns in the world's wealthiest country bothers me.

[strateguy632]

i guess you don't know he makes cars?

[strateguy632]

about homeless. what do you @canamlusciouslad73
think would happen if they made an organized homeless tent camp that required drug testing. they spend their money on drugs that is the reason they are homeless.

[canamlusciouslad73]

@strateguy632 So?

[Iron_Man]

I do the best that I can. I don’t think about that. At least I have a nice house all paid off my friend lives in efficiency. But my property taxes are high

[strateguy632]

but high compared to rural. high compared to which other city?

[Iron_Man]

@strateguy632 I live in Miami, Florida my taxes are more higher than my neighbors even though I’m homestead exempted. I live on a nice cul-de-sac.

[strateguy632]

wow that is high! 😔

[Iron_Man]

@strateguy632 yes it is

[Essa1212]

Over 80% of all wealth is inherited, not earned.

[Smileygirl2000]

Not true

[exitseven]

No, I live very comfortably and do not really want to be filthy rich.

[TonyMetal___1986]

Nope, i never look at others, i accept myself the way i am

[Jackblue]

Would it make my life better if I had as much as I currently do and that was the most anyone had?

[Smegskull]

I think what bothers people is that work is optional for some and obligatory for others.
I think the same mechanism is why people have a dislike for super attractive women.

[tfan1]

Even if it did, I can’t do anything about it. So I just don’t think about it.

[Alex-Snow]

Money does not make them happy... just look at Trump.

[ThisSiteSux]

It bothers me that people that are allowed to vote believe that there is such a thing as too much money

[Snakeyes7]

I think its a waste of time and self destructive to worry about that. Being rich isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[Staximus]

There’s always going to be somebody with more money and I don’t give a fuck

[Anonymous]

No, I just try to focus on myself. There are people who are far richer, smarter, better looking and funnier than me. I just try to be the best version of me. If someone else makes ten million dollars this year, good for them.

[Pterodon]

If I did I would be breaking a 10 commandment. Thou shall not covet

[Anonymous]

Yes. That money is better off in the hands of the government.

[browsingthroughthe]

Mmm hmmm 🌹preach 🤲🏻

[Anonymous]

I actually want to be one of those people.

I doesn't bother me, they ar lucky.

[Kingofkings1992]

Only when they're useless, and they don't deserve it

[thegreenyogi]

Honestly? No not really.

[Dargil]

Why should it?

[Pretendingtobesweet]

No All men are trash

[KostasKouvalis]

Of course. Especially people like IShowSpeed

[jamesgoldman]

No I don't want to deal with taxes

[LiamJHayden]

No. I am comfortable.

[fishbone77]

Nope. I don't have to live their life.

[Xoirwinkan]

No, that's how the world works.

[Eiram5]

No one works for their money.

[Gabriel-Chicanito]

Money's there, when u least need it! ..

[Anonymous]

No because I'm not insecure like you.

[Kim41230]

Hello

[Jmmmfi4]

Very much so

[abarbie]

Not really
